You don't need to update your ports until you've upgraded all the way to 10.2. However, be careful about removing old shared libraries or most of your ports will stop working. You will have enough to be able to upgrade your system with just what is in the base system, but it can be a drag if your favourite editor stops working. Installing the compat8x and compat9x ports before you begin will help things keep running smoothly.
